OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effects of Ginkgolides(GL)on cerebral ischemia in experimental rodents. METHODS:The models of decapitative mice and acute incomplete cerebral ischemic(AICI)rats were used.The gasp duration of decapitative mice and cerebral index,water content of brain,cerebral capillary permeability and hemorrheological parameters in rats were determined.RESULTS:Ginkgolides could prolong gasp duration of decapitative mice,increase the cerebral index and the water content of brain,inhibit capillary permeability,improve hemorrheological parameters and decrease blood viscosi?ty.CONCLUSION:Ginkgolides may antagonize the damage of cerebral ischemia.

Objective: To explore the anticancer mechanism of Stellera chamaejasme L. abstracts with water (SCLA). Methods: SCLA drugserum was derived after different time from mice which was orally peradministrated with different dose of SCLA. the effects of the serum on the roliferation of human gastric adnocacinoma SCG7901 cells were observed with MTT assay and clone formation methods.Results: After treatment with the drugserum derived at 1,2,3h from mice pertreated with SCLA(5,10 and 20g?kg -1 ), the MTT formazan and cone formation of gastric adnocacinoma SGC7901 cells were decreased significantly. SCLA from the mice which were given the drugserum 2h later was more effective than others. Conclusions: SCLA had a remarkable inhibitory effects on proliferation of gastric adnocacinoma SGC7901 cells, which may be the main anticancer mechanisms of SCLA.

The antiumor activity of a new podophyllotoxin spin-labeled derivative, 4 -C 4 "-( 2 ", 2", C", 6"-tetramethyl- 1 "-piperidinyoxy ) amino]-4'-demethylepipodophyllotoxin ( GP-7 ) was studied. It was found that the growth of transplanted mouse tumors S180, HePS and Lewis lung cancer was markedly inhibited by GP-7. At a dose of 7.5-20 mg/kg, the inhibition rates of it against Sl80, HePS and Lewis lung cancer were 36.0-58.4, 29.6-60.0, and 27.2-46.5 % respectively. The toxicity of GP-7 was low, as indicated by the LD50 value of 231.2 mg/kg which was 3.3 times higher than that of etoposide ( VP-16 ) . On the other hand, the effects of GP-7 on spleen index and thymus index of mice bearing S180 tumor were remarkably lower than that of VP-16. In vitro GP-7 exhibited marked inhibition effects against L1210 and SGC-7901 cells. After exposure of L1210 cells to GP-7 and VP-16 5 mg/L for 24 h, the. inhibition rates were 75.5 and 73.6 %. after exposure of SGC-7901 cells to GP-7 and VP-16 5 mg/L for 72 h, the inhibition rates were 81.4 and 84.2 %. The new podophyllotoxin derivative GP-7 was similar to its structure analogues, clinical drug VP-16, in antitumor activity, while the toxicity of it was much lower than that of VP-16.

History and current situation of hospital preparation in our country and practical demands of pharmaceutical industry were analyzed. With the implementation of GMP in pharmaceutical industry and enhanced drug administration, lots of problems were exposed. The scale of hospital preparation was decreasing year by year, though it still stayed at a predominate position in hospital works currently.

In order to study the enhancement of immune functions and autologous tumor-killing (ATX) activity by kappa-selenocarrageenan (KSC) in mice bearing sarcoma 180, the effects of KSC and/or Cyclophosphamide (Cy) on natural killer(NK) activity, lymphokine activated killer(LAK) activity, the production of interleukin-2 (IL-2), ATK activity and the growth of sarcoma 180 (S180) were observed. The results showed that KSC promoted NK activity, LAK activity and ATK activity in vivo, increased IL-2 production at 40mg/kg ?d x 9d. It also enhanced the antitumor action of Cy (20mg/kg?d x 9d) and offsetted the inhibition of Cy on immunocompetent cells. The ATK activity in splenocytes of SI80-bearing mice could be induced and augmented by recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) in vitro. In conclution, KSC had a up-regulating effect on immune functions and ATK activity in tumor-bearing mice, therefore, can be used as a biological response modifier (BRM) in cancer biotherapy.

Objective To explore the improving effect of L-leucine on memory impairment in plateau and the mecha-nism. Methods After successfully trained in the 8-arm radial maze,50 male Kunming mice were selected and randomly divid-ed into normoxic control group (NC group),model group,and L-leucine (low,medium and high dose) groups.Animals in L-leu-cine groups were intragastrically given 0.473 g?kg-1 ,0.945 g?kg-1 and 1.89 g?kg-1 L-leucine for 7 days and those in NC and model control groups were administered the same volume of purified water for the same period of time.At the 4th day of the treat-ment,the mice in the model control group and L-leucine groups were placed in a large low-pressure and low-oxygen chamber to simulate low-pressure hypoxic environment of the plateau (7 500 m,3 d).The 8-arm radial maze was used to measure the spatial learning and memory ability of mice and dry-wet method to measure the water content of brain tissue.HE staining was employed to observe the cell morphological changes in CA1 region of the hippocampus.The expression levels of mTOR,P70S6K and 4E-BP1 mRNA in the hippocampus were detected by SYBR Green real-time PCR. Results The reference memory error ( RME) ,total error ( TE) ,testing time ( TT) ,and water content of brain tissue were significantly increased,the neuron injury was exacerbated in CA1 region of the hippocampus,and the expression levels of mTOR and P70S6K mRNA were markedly decreased in model control group when compared with those in NC group (P<0.05 or P<0.01).These indexes,however,were significantly improved in L-leu-cine groups,especially in high-dose group. Conclusion L-leucine can improve memory impairment in plateau,and the mecha-nism may involve the activation of mTOR and its downstream substrates (4E-BP1 and P70S6K).
